Camp!

It's camp time! Summer camp started this week. This program is amazing and wears the boys out. Yep, that's right...I said "boys". Cruz is trying camp this year too!

The camp director made an exception for Cruz since the minimum age is 3 and he doesn't turn 3 until August. This wasn't even something I was going to pursue nor did I think it was an option. Coop's preschool teacher approached me about it. Once the idea was planted, I was all over it.

Cruz is only going one morning a week. We decided that would be plenty to get him started. This means I have 3 hrs to myself once a week which will be perfect to help me survive fire season.

Cruz knows several of the kiddos in his class and did great his first morning. I thought he'd be hesitant about me leaving at drop off but he put his little back pack in his cubby, gave me a hug good bye and starting playing with his buddies like it was no big deal. We will see how the rest of the summer goes but for now, Cruz is a fan of camp. And I'm not going to lie, selfishly, I'm a fan too.

Cruz brought home his first camp craft; a "silly monster" and when I asked what his favorite part of camp was, he said "putting the pieces together"---a giant outdoor puzzle.

Coop loves camp too. He's moved up and is hanging with the big kids and comes home a muddy mess. Mud = fun!!!
